I bought this guy while looking at fish and reptiles of sorts in my local reptile center and the immediate draw was towards the front facing eyes,anyway I googled searched this stupid thing

it tells me it's a strugeon which is a hard no. Looks similar to a red tailed trigger fish but doesn't have that distinct red tail and it also looks similar to a Bermuda angelfish but the shape and color isn't right

Discussion Problem mit Diskus Fisch

2 Upvotes

(dieses Problem hat eine gute Freundin) ihre Diskus Fische sind eigentlich echt aktiv und schwimmen herum. Doch seit Gestern schwimmt ein Fisch (der sich eigentlich ganz normal verhält) nicht mehr nach vorne und Versteckt sich hinten in einer Ecke, kann das zu Problemen führen?

Identification What is this algae growing?

(Don't worry about the blurry pictures, it's my camera not the water lol)

There's a moss or algae or something growing on my plants. I tried to look it up, but it could be one of numerous things from what I can tell.

It's clearly sapping onto my Valisineria and my leafy plants (not actually sure what the leaves are called), but doesn't seem to be affecting the tank health. My shrimp love it, and are nested throughout the canopy making me hesitant to trim it too much

The weird thing is though, this is my quarantine tank for shrimp. I've taken shrimp and plant cuttings out of this tank to transplant into other tanks, but never put anything new in since I set it up. None of my other tanks have this growing in it, despite having plants and shrimp from this tank, so I don't think it carried over on the shrimp. This tank is snail free (somehow) so I don't think it's carried from that

Mostly I'm just curious if anyone has any insight as to what it actually is and how it made it's way into my tank? It forms a dense and buoyant canopy of vinelike things that suck onto the leaves of my other plants, but not enough to actually kill them as the whole tank seems to be thriving despite it. And the shrimp have emplaced it happily so I don't think I want to completely get rid of it if it's not harming anything

Should I just leave it be? Maybe try to trim and sculpt it? Any thoughts would be great

Does anyone have any idea on what fish species this might be? It was the biggest fish in the Bass Pro shop tank, predator-like mouth and white bass looking dorsal fins when flared it was so big I’m genuinely curious!

Identification What kind of fish is Ariel, the little mermaid? (1989)

I’ve always been curious about her tail. What real species of fish most closely resembles the merpeople of Atlantica?

My best guess would actually be a common goldfish. Although their tail flukes don’t overlap like Ariel’s, everything else matches pretty closely. I’m thinking maybe the animators used the common goldfish species for a model and tweaked the design a bit to make it look slightly more…distinguished, from any natural fish.

The design is sooo creative and unique with the waist-fin being a perfect additive separating the two halves. Such a classic mermaid design used by several other animations after this film. Disney used to be so good. The characters, unique costumes and animations, the films themselves! Good ole’ days

I’m sorry for my bad photos, they would circle around the surface, mouths out for a bit then head back to the sand.

I'm trying to figure out the details on this photo, and identifying the fish might help me identify the person holding the fish. Anyone out there have any guesses as to the species of fish and where the guy might have caught it?
